Re: 2014 OS FICTIONAL rosters

Should have one left handed 3rd baseman or Shortstop hidden somewhere on the roster, just because we can have that now. hah

That's been my plan from the start almost threw him in yesterday, but didn't... Lol you can count on there being one hidden in there though.

At this point we've unfortunately only had a few people volunteer to help, so I would be surprised if it came out before May 15.

Do you need help with anymore guys? I could do up some players if you needed me to.

Re: 2014 OS FICTIONAL rosters

I am as hyped as anyone for a Full Minors set, but we're talking 2250 players--I don't even think there's enough variation in the generator to make that many quality players.

Are there any plans for releasing a 25 man set (for playoffs, exhibition, and seasons w/ no injuries), a 40 man set (for seasons w/ injuries), and then a FM set?

If not, can we consider that?

I have been considering it, it's not likely though. The main reason is, that's not my goal here... I don't want to crank out a half complete set, I want to do something that has never been done before with these rosters.


Also, including free agents, we'll be doing over 2700 players... My username makes sense now doesn't it? ;p

Lord have mercy, you're doing a full minors with these too??

Yep. Once the majors are full though, minors are easier because I don't have to copy over any data from last year. We're always looking for people willing to make a few guys.

Re: 2014 OS FICTIONAL rosters

Kudos to you for sure. I'm definitely making some when the PS4 version comes out.

I don't know man, 2700 sounds a bit too ambitious. Let's say you have 1000 players right now (guesstimate)--that leaves 1700 to go. If we're talking 20 players a day (can't see more than that if quality-control is an issue, and it might even be less), that's 85 days in production, or almost 3 months.

At 50 a day, that's 34 days. But I will eat my hat if we get 50 "quality" players a day from now until June 1st. Now if we're simply talking players created with a minimum of detail, character, and skill, then maybe.

But isn't there something to be said about quality over quantity?

(I'm just thinking out loud here in the interests of the final product)

2 days ago I had over 100 submissions. Yesterday I created over 40 just by myself. I think we're doing okay... If progress is slow in a month I'll consider a wip file.


Rather than second guess it now, though, I'm going to keep working at it. You're free to choose whether or not you want to help out.

I certainly do question the quality of the player models at that volume, and think an additional, condensed 25/40 man set would be in the community's best interests.

Re: 2014 OS FICTIONAL rosters

25 and 40 man rosters is thinking too small, at least for what we want here. We're thinking franchise here.

Plus, with rosters able to be carried over to future MLBts versions, this could be the last full fictional roster we ever have to create, or at least the last one we have to do this much work on. In the future this set could be edited and modified to add or take away players or edit gear, stances, pitches, etc...

Now let's stop typing so much in this thread and rather spend the time creating new players!
